Before you apply
Understand if you're eligible and what to do before you apply.
Application dates
To apply, you will need to submit:
- an initial expression of interest (EOI), to ensure a supervisor will support your research
- a final application, if invited after the supervisor reviews your EOI.
The deadlines to submit your EOI or final application will depend on whether you’re applying for a UQ scholarship or project with a specific closing date.
You must also allow time for your Australian student visa to be processed.
Entry requirements
Choose your program to check you meet academic entry and English proficiency requirements:
Find a supervisor or project
You need to either:
- identify a suitable supervisor in your field who might support your proposed project. Learn how to choose a supervisor, or
- find a project you can join that suits your interests. See available projects.
You do not need to contact your proposed supervisor. Provide their name when you submit your EOI. They will review your EOI and contact you if they are interested in discussing working with you.
Scholarships and fees
See what scholarships are available, what they offer (fees and/or living stipend), eligibility requirements, deadlines and how to apply.
Check the tuition fees of your program. If you're successful for a UQ stipend scholarship you'll also receive a tuition fee scholarship.
Also consider additional costs, including budgeting for general living expenses, relocation costs and airfares.
